Palin's choice, I feel, was to make inroads into the Republican base. She is not the one that would be appealing to Independents/moderates. Furthermore, Palin's choice was also to capture Hillary voters. It has already misfired. Palin is a candidate with a contradictory past. McCain's decision making skills are reflected in the choice of such a candidate. iht.com

Your comments are based on a very small sampling of people and do not address the broad issues dealt with in the WSJ article. For instance, what does your group make of the 58% to 42% rejection by blue collar Michigan Democrats of affirmative action that was on the Michigan ballot in the election of 2006, and its potential impact on Obama's showing? What, if anything, do they say about Obama's campaign being perceived as elitist by inner city Detroit Blacks for its refusal to hand out street money? How do they feel about the pollster's comments in the article that Obama does not do well in areas were there are poisonous race relations? (Or is the statement "poisonous race relations" inaccurate of Michigan's race relations?) And does your group perceive the Mayor of Detroit's soap Opera as largely irrelevant in the statewide results? And more importantly, what do the latest Michigan polls show? (since you're so wired into the state).
